Brown pour with tan head and lace. Aroma of chocolate and light coffee. Chocolate with a light to medium coffee/malt bitter. Medium full bodied with good carbonation. ACAT11

Nice coffee stout. The nose shows more of a coffee bean/vegetal character than a roasted aroma. Full bodied, but with a nice Effervesscent mouthfeel. Long, rich finish.

I probably chronically overrate decent stouts, but this is another great one and one of the most solid beers I’ve had from Avery. Dry, sweet, with chocolate and especially coffee. (8/9/2010)

taster at the Avery taproom on 10/2/11. dark brown pour with a small tan head. big coffee nose with light sweetness / milk and light whiskey. full smooth body with coffee, chocolate, sweet cream and roasted malts. sweet, roasted finish... very smooth.

"Miz Susan’s Blend" Deep coffee brown with a soft tan head. Aroma is straight up coffee. Truel like coffee beer; the iced coffee of beers.

I love a well-integrated coffee stout and this sure is one of them - a lot of dark roast, whole bean goodness, without the high acidity and bitterness that often comes along with extracting so much coffee flavor - smooth dark, chocolately malt sweetness underneath, but the coffee is the star here - tasty.

Poured dark black with thin off white almost tan head, aroma had big notes of coffee grounds, some chocolate, roasted malt, touch of caramel in there but the coffee really dominated. Taste was like drinking coffee in beer, tasty but a bit thin. Also had some chocolate, roast, caramel, slight hint of grass, finishing with more coffee bittering and dry at the end.

on tap at brewer; need to try again as I didn’t get the coffee aroma or flavor that others are touting. It was smoother than the out of bounds but didn’t get the coffee flavor/aroma...

This is a really good stout, but not my favorite one that they make. This is lighter, and easy to drink in a session. Great stuff. Try it with coffee at the brewery. Its great.
